Strong agree. “Lobbyist” has a precise legal meaning and they are required to register with the House and Senate if they are a federal lobbyist and each state has its own registration process if they are lobbyists at that level. It does not appear this person is a lobbyist. Holding an opinion is not enough to make you a lobbyist, nor is expressing that opinion in a published work.

- gruez 4y ago>If someone clearly has an agenda then calling them a lobbyist is just fine Why not just call them as "having an agenda"? Why do you feel the need to stretch the truth?

- eduction 4y agoSure, you can argue it’s hyperbole. But if you’re trying to make the point that someone else is sloppy with the facts, it may undermine that for you to make a literally false statement, even if it’s hyperbole. Hyperbole can be hard to detect.
- caenorst 4y agowords have meanings and should be used accordingly
- amusedcyclist 4y agoyes and in this context lobbyist means someone with a clear agenda, not a legal designation. You're the one making up meanings to suit yourself
